I hope a brief insert of levity is okay. I had a thought earlier I would like to share. It made me chuckle, I hope it may make you. :)
I was thinking earlier - what if we were on an NFL football team completely comprised of PTSD sufferers. An image popped into my head.
I saw a very weary group of souls, most of us smaller or weaker or just plain scared to be at the stadium period. Play after play, we would get our asses kicked. It would feel like the game would never end.
At the end of the half, we would be down by 50-2, and that is because the quarterback fell on his back in the endzone, laughing at our inabilities.
During the halftime speech, the coach would give his best inspirational speech, and then say one thing that triggered just one person, and the room would turn into a chaotic frenzy.
We would have people crying, diving for locker room doors, we would have people perched up top on man towers, and everyone of us would know where all the exits are, saying or doing some pretty horrid things to make it out alive.
After 60 seconds, the opposing coach would knock on the locker room door with a swat team.
"We forfeit. You guys are f*cking crazy."
We would go 19-0 and win the Superbowl. :)
